Wow, I hope the viewers are taking notes and will watch this again for the "seeds of wisdom." So much is being dropped here until I am getting goose bumps. Thanks Tayo for being patient and running this down ... Looking forward to my visit to maybe what is my main DNA link to the continent. I want to help not take ... Thanks.

Every family has that one person who will break the family's financial struggle, I hope you become the one 😊

Your business will make you rich but investment makes and you keep you wealthy, we all deserve to be successful and have financial freedom, I pray everyone here becomes successful

"Procrastination is the killer of dreams." True words. I'll say no more.

"Until you have a PROPER roof over your head, your ambitions remain limited." This is true!

"Procrastination is the killer of dreams". My take home...

This guy...stated everything clearly..his cousin was his plug.. respect to his detailed story...

Kennedy Okonkwo still remain my boss, Am still working under him I love the man, and he inspire us every Monday, he is so kind and helpful ❤️

When you invest, you are buying a day that you don't have to work. I pray everyone reading this becomes successful.

“As far as you stay hungry, stay foolish, stay humble, you are going to succeed.“

As a Nigerian Living in the UK, I love seeing people back home doing amazing things in business (and that also includes you Tayo) 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 💯 💰

I am happy this man is a Nigerian that believes in Nigeria & Africa as a whole, good to see his development & ambition. 💯👍🏽👏🏽

When you invest you're buying a day you don't have to work.

It is the wisdom for meeeee.. Stay hungry, stay foolish, stay humble

Mr. Okonkwo isn't just a billionaire who started from nothing; he's an inspiration to every African sons and daughters. You feel the struggle in his voice. You imagine possibilities the courage of telling his story in a beautiful way as if that's what he do for a living. This video is rich! Thank you, Mr. T.👏👏

The Nigerians are doing marvelously well in every field of work you find them. No wonder currently they have the Richest man in Africa in the country. Even in Ghana here, they're performing wonders and surprises everywhere. Very talented when you get closer to them.

This thing Mr Kennedy said about a roof being over your head is highly underrated. I live in Europe and there has been a few times where I found it very difficult to get an appartement for one reason or another. My father who is in Nigeria will be so bothered and would turn it into a prayer point for me to get an appartement on time. My father would say the most important thing for a man is shelter. It is only when you have shelter you can begin to think properly on how to find food. My father would say even if you have so many problems, where to sleep at night should not be one of it because that is one of the worst situations for anybody to find themselves in. I have had an experience of not having where to stay for the night because I missed the connecting train to where I was going. This was towards midnight and everywhere was freezing cold. I thought maybe I could stay at the train station until the morning to take the first train to my destination. Unfortunately, at 1am the security ordered all of us to go outside. It was freezing cold 🥶 outside. The next time the train station would be open was at 4am. I didn’t have any friends at this location so I was forced to stay outside the whole night until 4am. It was the longest 3 hours wait in my life. I couldn’t think of any other thing than getting warm. Food was not even the priority. The priority was finding warmth. I didn’t want to stay in a hotel because I didn’t budget for that. It was at that point, I understood better what my father was talking about.

I have always wanted to meet him too.. it’s great you did this Tayo, after watching till the end, all I can say is, Mr Ken knows his industry just by hearing him talk.. he is not just in it for the money, but he truly cares about the housing sector in Nigeria. This is a great watch not just for up coming real estate developers but entrepreneurs in general.. well done Tayo

God bless his cousin Very few gets the opportunity to have a destiny helper

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

''AS FAR AS YOU stay hungry, stay foolish, stay Humble you are going to succeed'' I'm motivated.

There's always someone your life is tied to, just as his was tied to his cousin. And his cousin being a wonderful person didn't fail. I pray that we all find someone who'll lift us up someday. Very inspiring story. Great one Tayo 🥂

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? “We’re going global!” - Dang! This Man. He said, 50-60% of his staff owning properties gives him joy. How many Nigerian employers can boast of that? Instead, they try to pull us down.

I’m a Senegalese brother who admires this man. I felt everything he said from 20:40 to 21:10 especially about slow execution of visions that leads to an accusal of ideas theft. Time is now 🙌🏾💫

His story verifies the knowledge from Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad.its really amazing. Let's all follow the steps

That's my Mentor for the past 4years now. He is a very humble man and one of the best developers in Lekki Lagos. Baba T you are already a Billionaire for being around Billionaires. Thanks for this interview

Humble beginning…. Saw picture of him and Obi Cubana, when they were still young

He is exactly like me.. wawwwww!!! This history is all about me.. I am crying hardly... I am from Haiti 🇭🇹 and bloodline Africa for ever!!!

You are a true Nigerian prince - someone who honestly earned his wealth without conning people, and still stayed true to his values.

I’m the 5th child who lost my father also. This is inspiring and the universe telling me I can do anything.

It’s refreshing to see someone who has acquired and built wealth and still instill family values over capitalist ones. Family is the true secret for generational wealth.

SERIOUSLY loved the fact that this man finished from the secondary and primary school i finished from, lived On Alagomeji the area I lived too and to crown it up..a very good goal getter who determined to be whom he has been today.. Honestly watch out for me too. God bless you Sir.

Respect to all Nigerians. Im Ghanaian.

He preached a sermon in this interview!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿

I love videos like this. The main lesson to learn here is "honesty, humility and respect". If he was impolite,arrogant or was using lies to steal from his cousin, he would not have been where he is today.

Very inspiring! I will share this with my husband. He has two buildings under construction now in Ghana and wants to own more. We will keep going.

Stories like these are the reasons why I believe I can believe that I can make things work for me in Nigeria. Even though I'm not from a rich family, and even though, I come from a poor family.

Dr. Ned Okwonkwo is not only fluid in his responses to Tayo's questions, he is also inspirational to the point of positive reflections. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Kudos!

Lesson learnt " procastination is the KILLER of dreams." Thanks for this reminder.🙂🙂🙂✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

He's right. Being slow in acting when God gives you an idea, He's also given the said idea to others. Because the need of that has to be met. And in life, there's no vacuum. Thanks Tayo again for exposing my mind.

One of the few success stories that don't sound like Magic. I can testify, Kennedy was my Oniru landlord! Truly inspirational 👏

I’m sure you didn’t have a problem editing this video. This man’s transition and flow of words is so good! He was definitely prepared for this interview. Every question was answered so well.

One of of the best Realestate developer in Nigeria.. I feel so inspired hearing him talk, nice one Tayo

“Opportunities are everywhere how do you sieve it when you find them, create creative finance for the opportunities”…”Find the right people & tribe to take you from point A to point B.” God bless you Dr. Ned & Thanks so much Tayo for this, truly inspirational.

Feeling super inspired and motivated. This man a genius visionary. Lets make Africa great! I'm from Cape Town, South Africa.

Procrastination is a dream killer👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. There couldn’t have been a better way to put it. This man is so smart, intelligent, and insightful. Wow! This interview was definitely interesting to watch. His choice of words.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love how fluent he is. I'm not always a fan of hearing people go on about themselves, but his story is captivating bcuz of his fluency and accuracy.

This video has sparked up a fire in me! What!!!!!! He literally went from nothing! My God!! I can hear the passion and zeal in his voice. His cash flows!!!!!!!

He is incredibly driven and fluent,the future of Nigeria is in entrepreneurs like him and not in the failed politicians.

Pay attention to how he was referring to “this cousin” “that cousin” and “cousins”. Friends, no matter where you are in life, try to Pull up those that are close to you! Don’t you ever see them as competition. Contribute to people’s lives

Not just smooth in his talking, he sounds philosophically fine and inspirational in his presentation!

Ned Okonkwo is on my wavelength! I am a firm believer in his ideology!

This is the first Nigerian businessman I've seen that giving an honest an fair interview. He truly has passion for what he does and is knowledgeable about his industry. I didn't get a sense of 'Na God do am'

Truly inspiring story and journey… I am fired up 👊🏾😁🔥 , thanks for sharing this one, Tayo. Nigerians both home and abroad need to be inspired that it can be done, where? In Nigeria and across Africa.

that is one thing I love about Nigerian entrepreneurs compared to any other African countries I experience, how they hustle. No fear of the unknown, unfortunately he is right, manufacturing is non existent due to people perception of local products and lack of support from government to tax import so local production can be competitive.

This man is phenomenal. Seeing how he's come this far, gives me motivation. Despite the hurdles he experienced, he wasn't deterred. There is special importance of having people who help you get ahead in life. No one gets to any position in life on their own. When you meet these special people, don't let them go. Always appreciate them.

there is something I love about entrepreneurs. they know how to do something special! shoutout to u brother from India.

This man is patriotic, humanitarian and full of wisdom. This is the type of people we need in Africa.

Nigerians are Great people. Industrious, creative and hardworking. We are the ones to change our economy. Nobody will do it for us.This story is highly inspiring my brother!.

Waooow A Nigerian s mind is a unique mind l stayed there 4 almost 6 years and they are succesful

This is amazing, when he said "how you impact on others because your business is successful" wow... I'm watching from Uganda 🇺🇬 peace and love ✌️

"God also gives the same vision to many other people. People don't steal your idea. It is God's idea. When he gave it, you were slow in executing. Remember this always - procrastination is the killer of dreams..." Dr Kennedy Okonkwo What I take from this is that taking care to perfect something and lazing around are two different things. That I should always be honest with myself when differentiating the two... Thank you gentlemen and God bless!

Damn... This man needs to be a motivation speaker.

This is exact the exact channel I have been looking for, this all long. Thanks alot for the submissions.

Great Video Tayo very inspirational need to watch it a few more times to get the message fully

I m crying listening to this man. He reminds me of my life back then...God is Good.

I’m not into real estate but this story is so inspiring.

You can tell this was an outlet for him to share his story! There's an eagerness to how he shares his story! Thanks Tayo.

I have learnt a thousand lessons from this interview. It's so inspirational.

This man is a true Igbo man...never heard him speak, his logic is on point!

Love that the Made in Africa series are back. They're some of my favorite along with some of the deeper expository pieces Tayo does.

Ned is so inspirational. Haven known him for about 6years now, I didn't know he's this kind until after this interview. Knowing that people like this have strived and have succeeded despite the "Nigeria nawa situation" nothing is impossible to achieve when you believe and strive.

He spoke so well I’m been seeing your videos for over a week now accordingly from the bottom and I must applaud you👏🏻👏🏻 you’re doing so well

Holy so this is how a businesses man thinks wow 😲😳😳 this man has a creative mindset, his mind is like a crowded city like new York ❤️❤️😀😘 where is the second video

" There's money everywhere.All you need is to look".....really inspiring interview, downright real!

Viewers should really watch this to the end. This man’s mindset is amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you Tayo for the quality of questions you ask and well done too. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Seriously a great interview! Procrastination is a killer of dreams. Plan, act, complete, and repeat.

Good dude. His mind works totally different from the way he looks👍

Beautiful how he outlined his whole story/process…. Rare to find people this open about their process. Many will just tell you it’s the grace of God.

This is so inspirational! I'm a Kenyan and I love Tayo's content. This was my first watch of his content! I now cannot stop! Most content creators don't give us an opportunity to hear the story of the persons behind the magnificent property we view and know what powers their wings to achieve

He is so soft spoken! I was not expecting that. So wise with his words absolutely love this story

Looking forward to seeing his company developing in South Africa

This is the first time I'm listening to Dr Ned, but I can listen to him all day long. I love the questions Tayo asked too. Great minds. Great video.

I'm going to watch this over and again to properly sink and absorb it all. Thanks Tayo!

This is the correct Kenneth Okonkwo... thank you for sharing your experience and acknowledging the impact of your cousin in your life...some people will say I was self made 100%

T, I'm so glad you asked why Nigerian homes are way more expensive than in countries like SA. The man said the cost of financing, which I never really thought would be a big issue due to the cheaper labour and vast uncultivated landmass we have. However, financing at 20-24% repayments as he said is completely insane 😲, especially building at that scale. Great interview on a great man 👏.

This is just amazing. Nigeria is truly blessed with very passionate brains. I love this masterpiece

I wish I could like this video twice... He shared so much about his journey, hard work, faith, self-confidence, uplifting your thought process and the quality of life for those around your vision. His words on procrastination and ceasing opportunities are vital.

I'm a Real Estate Developer. This Chap talks very fast because he has so much facts in his Head that he's trying to share. He knows what he's talking about. Real Estate has no end because Land is fixed but Population increases daily.

Much respect to Dr. Okonkwo. I hear the passion in his voice and his love for African people. When I first traveled to Nigeria a few years ago, the entrepreneurial spirit and energy was mind-blowing for me. Something in me was stirred up and awakened, and watching this video reminded me of that feeling. Africans let's make Africa great, together we can do it! 💜

Thank so much Nigerians are ower hope to lead africa we need more of u guys in South Africa

By far your best content so far, in my humble opinion. The guy was dropping nuggets like a pharaoh. Most in similar interviews showcase their wealth whiles he shares the “how to’s” for success. Shows where his heart is

The secret to NED'S wealth is choosing the right people to be with him. From cousin to wife to employees. He knows how to get people, bring out the genius in them and use thier genius for his good and I hopefully reward those people too. Most libra are awesome with building a tribe.

His dynamism is almost palpable! The man is an inspiration to all Africans.

I have learnt a lot from this man. He has spilled numerous nuggets of wisdom in such a short video....A million thanks from Kenya

His explanation of his own story was so clear that my inspiration to succeed skyrocketed to 1000 %. His English is on point too !! True definition of a success story to emulate !! 🙏🏾 GOD IS GOOD !! 🙏🏾

Though I'm at 2 minutes of the video, I'm just happy to see a fellow African becoming a business mogul without killing a few individuals or getting some herbs. This is encouraging even for me as I'd like to build an estate here in Swaziland at a beautiful place called Hawane (Hawai of Swaziland).

Thumps up Tayo. This segment is another piece of evidence that right here in Africa, the possibilities for success are immense. Let this resonate with all the children of Africa across the world.

I was just thinking today that we need more African mentors that have made it from back home. So proud of him and the others that have made it. God help us 🙏

Wow real estate is my biggest dream, watching this really give me courage to continue until I make it too in my home country🇨🇩 and other places
